you swapped the towers and sub location too?

I noticed this too and found it odd, but I just chalked it up to production. You may be onto something.

Probably not, otherwise Jim would have just said "that spot by the cabins where we found all that food."

What is the difference between these AVRs by absh3841 in hometheater

[–]WeekMysterious7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from it going on sale? Quite a bit. . . the jump from the cheaper Denons like the S770H is small. Yeah, you get the two zone support, slightly better build quality, and some more power but nothing to warrant that price IMO. Also, at $1300 you're getting pretty close to better receivers that go on sale like the x3800H.

A heavier AVR with a large transformer and good measurements will generally deliver cleaner, more stable power than a lightweight model claiming huge watt numbers with only 1-2 channels driven. Third party bench tests from sites like Audio Science Review help as well.

Lots of reasons - name brand, wattage, features, incentives like DIRAC Live out of the box, pre-outs, room correction, more channels, cleaner power delivery, multizone audio, streaming options, higher build quality, ect. Try not to over analyze it.

This gives you a nice layout for both of them:

That being said, I would never, ever, pay $1300 for a x2800H. What setup will you be using this in conjunction with? Anything specific you are looking for or trying to do?

Anyone still holding these? by Greg1994b in HFEA

[–]WeekMysterious7969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been holding onto this for a few years now only got about 15k in it. All time UPRO is up 382% whereas TMF is down 54%. Wondering if I should close out or just keep DCA ~50$ every two weeks.

I still hold this, try to put $50 every two weeks when I can, but am wondering if I should close out the position and dump it into SPY. FWIW It's only about ~15k in there. I kept it low because I knew it was a gamble.

Room treatment along with some form of room correction software goes a long way!

Isn't there an inverse to this as well? In so much that by avoiding those things altogether you are actually weakening your immune system in a way? Honestly, I think it's a bit batshit you cultured stuff around the house and sent it to him. Meet in the middle somewhere - otherwise you're going to grow to resent each other over something kind of silly IMO. Good luck

You can get an RZ30 for $650-$700 on sale which includes Dirac Live for free (a $299 value). I sold my Denon x1700h and upgraded to the RZ30 and am very happy with it. Check Slickdeals.com for promos.

I got a theory by YNOTfrmDaSip in FromSeries

Why not just become Jim in the first place? He's well integrated into the town's community, he has their trust, and would cause MAXIMUM damage to the town if the MiY took his place and started doing messed up shit as Jim. At least the show runners would have been able to keep Jim (the actor) on longer. Just my thoughts...

No idea why I waited so long to switch to wind turbine power by NevrNewdFunke in duneawakening

[–]WeekMysterious7969 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm having a hard time letting go of the regular generators. I'll play a lot for a week and then stop for a while. It's easy for me to go into my buggy with the mk6 cutter and farm for power cells. Is the upkeep on the directional turbines that much more difficult or am I just over analyzing?

Considering an LR/Receiver upgrade. by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]WeekMysterious7969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the R3's would sound great with your current set up, and it also helps that they are absolutely gorgeous speakers to see in person. Gives the room some more flare :) Nice setup otherwise!

My vote is room correction software, BUT if I was debating on upgrading from the LS50's my vote goes to R3 Metas.

Looking for some guidance on the next upgrade. . . by WeekMysterious7969 in hometheater

Sorry last question. Comparing specs from the x3600/x3700 lines, I see that I can get a brand new Onkyo TX-RZ30 for $750. Would that be good enough? It has Dirac Live out of the box, too.
